Speaking in an earnings call following the release of third quarter financials yesterday, Activision said Guitar Hero World Tour had practically sold out and it didn’t anticipate being able to make enough kits to satisfy Christmas demand. CEO Bobby Kotick said that Activision has “been surprised” by the response to the full band kit for […]

Speaking in an earnings call after the release of third quarter financials yesterday, Activision boss Bobby Kotick said that the firm may start charging to access and uplod user-content in Guitar Hero World Tour. “In just 10 days, our GH Tunes has attracted over 25,000 user-generated songs which means we’ll likely have up to 100,000 […]

According to this Eurogamer report, Guitar Hero World Tour “super bundles” will arrive on 360, PS3 and Wii on November 14 in Europe, consisting of all the instrments and the game. The PS2 pack will be available on November 21. “We’re delighted to confirm the release dates for all formats and bundles. Guitar Hero World […]

Look. We hate rhythm action games. But Activision’s Guitar Hero World Tour launch trailer made us want to play it. It’s got the Chilli’s drummer saying it’s “revitalising the music industry” and Sting wanking on about how great it is. It’s got Ted Nugent saying the word “spiritual”. It’s got it all. Goosebumps, honestly. After […]

Activision confirmed today that Jimi Hendrix and The Raconteurs’ tracks are on the way to Guitar Hero: World Tour. Hendrix songs “If 6 was 9,” “Little Wing,” and a live version of “Fire” will be available for DLC for the game on November 13. A Raconteurs DLC pack will contain “Salute Your Solution,” “Hold Up” […]

Oh dear. According to this Joystiq story, the PS3 version of Rock Band 2 doesn’t recognise Guitar Hero: World Tour’s drum set. This may sound trifling. In fact, it is. Unfortunately, SCEA specifically promised instruments from the bigger rhythm action games would work with each other this year, citing the two titles as an actual […]

Why work for something you can have for nothing? There is no reason. Kotaku, thankfully, has posted the colour code you need to unlock all the tracks in Guitar Hero World Tour. Wasting your time playing the frigging thing in the first place is bad enough, so you may as well cheat. Your heart only […]

In the wake of selling to Activision, FreeStyleGames boss Chris Lee has told VG247 that the English developer is currently working on a brand new IP for the publisher, and that the studio is to play a major role in the expansion of Guitar Hero throughout Europe. “A big part of Activision’s growth strategy for […]

Over 500 Rock Band songs? Pfft, that’ll be small change compared to Guitar Hero: World Tour’s player-driven create-a-song feature, which will surely see covers of every lighter-waving, spark-streaming rock odyssey ever conceived, right? Wrong. In an interview with 1UP, GH:WT director Brian Bright woke GH-devotees from their dream of heading up gaming’s own Napster. “We’ll […]

Press […]

Remember this Guitar Hero track list? It isn’t true. Activision told Game Informer that “while some of those songs are indeed in the game (Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher, for one), the bulk of it is wishful thinking and pure speculation.” Fans of the series were dribbling over the prospect of the list being, in […]

Yeah, yeah, Guitar Hero is ripping-off Rock Band, etc. It’s all about the music, man. And according to GoNintendo, GH: World Tour’s massive set list is looking so great, even the most ardent GH detractors may be forced to grudgingly pick up a touch guitar. Among others, the list includes rockin’ tunes from Weezer, Rush, […]

Someone at Neversoft would have a lot of explaining to do if Rock Band snagged the man who some call “the greatest guitarist of all time,” so this only seems fitting. According to CBC News, Jimi Hendrix will be joining Guitar Hero World Tour’s lineup – in more ways than one. Most importantly, players will […]

Kotaku reports that a survey sent in to them by a reader reveals potential artists such as Sting, Ozzy Osbourne, Ted Nugent, Billy Corgan, Jimi Hendrix, Travis Barker, Hayley Williams, and Zak Wylde that could all appear in Guitar Hero World Tour. So you could pretend to be all those people whilst doing an impression […]

Intellisponse, a market research firm, last night got “internetalised” in a rather brutal way, causing a flood of rumours on unannounced games. We’re mindful that some of you don’t have to convince your wives and husbands that writing nonsense about spacemen and pretend cars in the middle of the night is “necessary”, so here’s everything […]

More from a meta-leak from marketing firm Intellisponse. According to this X3F piece, the site’s yielded a rumour that Guitar Hero IV – recently name Guitar Hero: World Tour – is to cost $180. There’s some stuff over there about the game’s instruments which is already known, but there’s also a list of music to […]

Activision’s fully announced Guitar Hero World Tour, as you can see on Eurogamer.
